This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Ti 5:24. Τινῶν, of some) Not only is the aspect of the sins which are committed [i.e the footing on which they stand, the point of view from which they are to be regarded] different, but also of the men, though committing the same sins.-αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, the sins) their evil deeds, and their evil habits to be known from the former.-πρόδηλοι) manifest before any inquiry is made, or anything determined concerning the men.-προάγουσαι) going before, preceding him that commits them, so that he is immediately seen to be unworthy of the imposition of hands. The antithesis is, follow after.-εἰς κρίσιν) [Engl. Vers. to judgment] so far as concerns the judgment to be formed of the men.-τισὶ) That is more emphatic than if he had repeated τινῶν; some also their own sins follow.-ἐπακαλουθοῦσι follow after) Meanwhile we must wait patiently, till the matter fully discloses itself, and we must not inquire too harshly. God, however, directs His faithful servant to do and say what is seasonable. The preposition ἐπὶ implies no long interval.
